Star Shoot was a five-time American champion broodmare sire, and Daylight Saving was one of the reasons why. She was the dam of four stakes winners and left a lasting legacy in the form of her daughter One Hour, who continued the family in fine style.

As a producer

Daylight Saving produced 10 named foals. All 10 started and eight were winners. Her important foals are as follow:

Recreation (1924, by Spanish Prince II) won the 1928 Empire City Handicap but was a disappointing broodmare.

Clock Tower (1931, by Snob II) won the 1931 Washington Handicap and Maryland Handicap. He sired only 4 stakes winners from 145 foals but did beget 1937 American champion 3-year-old filly Dawn Play.

Gusto (1929, by American Flag) won the 1932 American Derby, Classic Stakes and Jockey Club Gold Cup. Ranked as the second-best American 3-year-old male of 1932 by The Blood-Horse, he died in training as a 6-year-old.

Connections

Daylight Saving was bred by John E. Madden. She produced her first three foals for Joseph S. Cosden and spent the rest of her broodmare career as the property of Morton L. Schwartz. She died in 1937.

Pedigree notes

Daylight Saving is outcrossed through five generations. She is a half sister to stakes winner Tetley (by Ormondale).

Tea Enough and her siblings are out of Tea's Over (by Hanover), who was produced from the King Alfonso mare Tea Rose. The next dam in Daylight Saving's tail-female line, Tuberose, was sired by Virgil from the Glen Athol mare Buttercup, whose half sister Ivy Leaf (by Australian) produced 1879 American champion older male Bramble (by Bonnie Scotland). Buttercup's dam Bay Flower (by Lexington) is a full sister to four stakes winners including the high-class Preakness, generally considered the co-champion American older male of 1875.
